Chiefs @ Raiders: Jamaal Charles to get Kansas rolling to a win

The Chiefs' running back has more yards on his own than the Raiders have all season

Only two teams have won more consecutive games than the Kansas City Chiefs, while no team is suffering from a longer losing streak than the appalling Oakland Raiders.

The Chiefs, and their string of five Ws, visit the battered home of the bruised Oakland Raiders looking to put some early pressure on the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos in Thursday’s Week 12 opener.

Sat level on a 7-3 record with Peyton Manning’s mob, a victory for Alex Smith and co will give the Chiefs an early advantage over the Broncos before the latter plays the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The pair’s tussle in Week 13 will likely prove pivotal.

First though, Kansas City must get past the Raiders, who are winless through 10 games this year and have lost 16 straight; a run that stretches an entire calendar year.
